repeat information in first cell of each page
We use tables to generate detailed agendas for lengthy meetings. The first
two columns on the left are used for start and end time of the day. The third column has a long list of items to be covered. In some cases, the listing in column three for a time slot may go on for 3 or 4 pages. At other times, there may be several time slots on one page. When a time slot goes on for a number of pages, users get confused about which time slot the entries refer to. At the top of each page I would like the cells of the first two columns to show the time slot involved. I could, of course, do this manually. But there are always last minute changes made that would throw off the pagination, moving the time entries to weird and confusing places on the pages. Using headers for the task seems to be a dead end for one or more of the reasons above (last minute changes, more than one time entry per page at times). If I were in excel, I would have a macro that did the following (in pseudo-code) Go to next page If current cell is null End-UpArrow (to find last entry) Copy current cell go to whatever page number I just left Paste entry EndIf Go to next page Loop and repeat above until end of document If they did this at the last minute, and did it in a new document (keeping their otherwise completed document for an even later last minute change), I believe this would work. I am not suggesting that this is the best way to accomplish my task in Word, only trying to explain what I am seeking as an end result. Can anyone help with this? |
